SNOWFALL ON HAVEN POINT by RaeAnne Thayne

Andrea Montgomery has spent a rough two years after the
death of her husband and now all she wants is for her children to have a happy
and safe holiday in their new hometown of Haven Point. But when her good
friend, Wynona, asks her to keep an eye out for her brother, Marshall Bailey,
after he broke his leg, well Andrea can’t say no to the woman who she and her
children owe so much, she never anticipates finding Marshall so dang appealing
even if he growls and is quite grouchy towards her.

Marshall hates sitting on the
sidelines as he heals from a mysterious hit-and-run accident. But he never
anticipated finding Andrea so adorable or falling for her two kids even as his
protective instincts rise up whenever she is around. As a blizzard forces these
two together for the holiday, sparks fly and Marshall
finds himself drawn to the gentle and spirited woman that is Andrea and enjoys
the excitement of the season on her kids’ faces. But if these two headstrong
people can’t figure out what their heart is telling them and risk it all, then
they just might not get all they could have this Christmas season.

I adore Ms. Thayne’s books and her newest one in the
acclaimed Haven Point series (which is a spin-off from her Hope’s Crossing
series), SNOWFALL ON HAVEN POINT, delivers a romance that will steal
your heart and deliver a story that just makes you breathless. I love seeing
some familiar faces and we see some new ones as well in this latest installment.
This is a story that started when we met Andrea and her kids in Redemption Bay
in Wynona’s story and continues with Andrea having her own book next. I love
how the author incorporates such wonderful small town traditions and setting in
her Haven Point and Hope’s Crossing series. With each book in the series, we
get drawn into a place filled with intriguing characters, a storyline that is
as real as can be and a setting that just makes you want to go visit. The
author does a wonderful job in capturing that spirit of small towns-the good
and the bad-and makes the reader feel like they are right beside her beloved
characters as well.

Meet Marshall Bailey and Andrea Montgomery. Two people who are polar opposites
yet are drawn to one another after putting down the wall around their hearts.
We met these two secondary characters in Redemption
Bay and I was thrilled to see Andrea
get her own story after that book and to my surprise it was with Marshall
Bailey, Sheriff of Lake Haven, and Wynona’s older brother. I love these two
characters together. Andrea and her kids soften stern and tough Marshall and he pretty much melts into a puddle after he
begins to fall for her, kicking and screaming all the way. The chemistry
between these two is off the charts and it simmers between them continually. I
enjoyed catching up with some familiar and favorite characters as well as some
new ones that I am really hoping become more prominent in future books in the
series. The characters are well written and show vulnerabilities that real
people have. They also stole my heart, more than once. The secondary characters
kept the story flowing smoothly and I found that they added a little light
heartedness to the storyline that alleviated the search for answers in Marshall’s hit-and-run driver.

SNOWFALL ON HAVEN POINT is a delightful read that
will transport you to a small town filled with heart and with characters that
will feel like family after your done reading the book. I am really hoping Ms.
Thayne continues with this amazing series and hope you can pick up any of her
books since they are so dang good. If you are looking for a great holiday story
to read then grab SNOWFALL ON HAVEN POINT and get ready to fall in love
with a small town that delivers more than you think.
